All you have to do is act Natal
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A sneak preview of Microsoft’s Project Natal last week saw gaming guinea pigs (including me) getting their heads (and arms and legs) around the latest thing in motion control.
You see, the thing about Natal is that, unlike the Wii, you can use all of your body to play. To those used to simply waving a Wiimote around, being able to use all of your limbs to control a game is refreshing – but takes some getting used to. With only one mini-game on show (a ball- and block-based sport title), it’s hard to know what a gamechanger Natal will be. Talk of voice control and super-accurate fitness titles was, at this early stage, hot air rather than cold, hard gaming fact, but the freedom that ditching any controller brings shouldn’t be underestimated.
